Both Camarillo and Herandez, who police say are members of the Sureños street gang, are charged with murder in the Dec. 10, 2016, death of Norteños gang member, 19-year-old Sulpicio Rios, of Fairfield. Camarillo is the alleged gunman, past court discussions revealed. Rios was allegedly shot three times around 9 p.m. in a shopping center parking lot in the 800 block of East Travis Boulevard. After shooting Rios, Camarillo reportedly chased after a member of the victim’s group toward a nearby car wash, firing several times at him. According to past court discussions, the shooting was the result of a confrontation that occurred earlier that evening at a Phoenix Drive 7-Eleven between the defendant, Hernandez, and two other males from Tracy, and two males dressed in red and a female. The dispute was over territory, per past court discussions.

The brief confrontation turned physical, though the two groups eventually dispersed in opposite directions. The defendant’s group left in the same vehicle they arrived in, and then traveled to a nearby residence where Hernandez allegedly made a quick stop inside to pick up what is believed to be the firearm used to shoot Rios. After returning to the 7-Eleven in search of the trio from the previous altercation, the four males went to get tacos at a truck in a shopping center on East Travis Boulevard. There, the group spotted one of the males and the female from the previous incident, this time accompanied by Rios. After both groups came together, exchanging gang-related insults during this time, Camarillo allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Rios.
